Working with the town of East Fremantle, Know Thy Neighbour #3 artist Yabini Kickett initially approached her residency with the intention to work with the youth of the neighbourhood, investigating what connected them to place.

On Wednesday 22 March and Thursday 23 March we have two public program events to add depth and context to the currently installed Know Thy Neighbour #3 exhibition at Cullity Gallery.

The Know Thy Neighbour #3 exhibition catalogue is intended to be read as a companion piece to the works on show at Cullity Gallery until 25 March 2023.

Birth, in all its forms, is a continuation of a legacy; a narrative about what once was, and glimpse at what could be to come. In a post-settler context of built developments, birth provides an avenue to interrogate our relationship with the changing environment around us. A Child Was Born Here pulls into focus the specific lived experiences in East Fremantle, and how its stories surrounding birth have contributed to the cultural memory of place.

Yabini Kickett through the Know Thy Neighbour #3 program is seeking the lived experiences of people who were born, gave birth, or have worked in a midwifery context in the East Fremantle locale.

Through Spaced’s Know Thy Neighbour #3 program, Yabini Kickett works with the community of East Fremantle.

Here, Yabini shares an update.

With Fremantle Art Centre recently sharing their Groundwork artists, we are excited to see two names among the lineup from our own programming. Yabini Kickett and Bennett Miller have been part of our Know Thy Neighbour #3 and Rural Utopias residencies, respectively, and will continue to deliver work on these projects across the year.

Over the next weeks, we’ll be introducing our Know Thy Neighbour #3 artists, along with their community partners.

Here, we introduce Yabini Kickett who will be working with the Town of East Fremantle.
